If the whole thing is under $800 I would resort to a credit card cash advance at 22% to score it.

Ask around for heavy haul trucking companies that have Landoll or RGN trailers. A wrecker company is usually too expensive.

Nice Wrecker Set No 7 and the USMC gas deuce (paperclips on the front bumper) would be neat to build back to original. I think there is still an unimagineable amount of stuff still out in the woods where we can't find it. Yet.

What a crock! You guys spend all this time and money upgrading a vehicle and then the state agency decides to come and take it? What are they going to replace it with, a CUCV? I would be fighting this hard if I were the chief!

MERC desert pattern. That pattern came between straight olive drab of the Viet Nam era and the 1980's NATO 3 color. Your colors are 30277 sand, flat black, 30118 brown, and 30257 earth yellow.

You have a 7.33:1 ratio in your Timken Detroit SD-353 axles. They are double reduction, but that is where the similarity to M-series 5 ton axles ends. With 12.00-20 tires and 1:1 top gear in the trans, mine runs a redlined 2500 RPM at 40 MPH. This is with a C-160 Cummins. The bigger Cummins...

Yesterday the Houston ABC affiliate produced a great story about a distinguished local WWII vet. What they did not mention that the vet, now 93 year old Tracy Lawrence, started the military truck surplus business "Houston Truck and Equipment" back in 1947, and was one of the leaders in the...

OK, kinda ugly, but so what. Is it diesel? Were those originally a Volkswagen design? What does "linesman" mean?

The rough idle is usually due to a leaking O-ring where the carb float valve threads into the carb, causing rich idle. If the truck is mostly rust free I would scoop it up for $2500.

Spencer, The M724 you found is what is called a "contact maintenance truck". It was used to repair broken vehicles in the field. When loaded, it is considerably heavier than the standard M715 and the 230 OHC engine had a hard time moving it around. As you may have heard, the Tornado engine...

Welcome to the site! I'm one of the few other 666 collectors on here, so I can help you with any questions. I have two, a regular White cargo made into a tractor, and a C666 Brockway crane truck without the crane. It is set up like yours with the 14.00-20's and front winch. The original...

Please show us pictures of the GM bus disks. This sounds like a better option than the stock 12 wheel cylinders. If you cannot find the front of the frame pieces, PM me, I think I have them somewhere.

EZ out should do the trick. Did you call Jerry Biro? He's the Hercules old parts guy. Google his name for contact info.

Ya'll dont make any mistake here. Soni's USMC M916 ain't nothin' like the usual Army M916 which is a 55 mph, goofy shifting, hard ridin' hauler . . .

The chopper is not mine. I hauled it to the Museum of the Americam GI in College Station, TX from the Texas Surplus yard on Wallaceville Rd in Houston. Yup that is a Deuce M275A2 tractor, 6 lugs rule! Any time you are ready to CARC your CUCV, come on down!

Not mine but if you would have seen this rig going up 290 I could have told you about it!

Looks like a M211 "C" with the dropside bed. Front of the frame looks a little short, but otherwise looks like a great truck to start with.

Funny you should ask. I have been flat towing deuces for many years and this is the first time I ever extended out the tow bar, about a little more than half way. I read somewhere on this forum that the bar was supposed to be short for cross country and long for highway. Never again. I had...

OK thats a lot of questions . . . but here goes. Yes that is a M915A1 doing the towing and it does a great job. I run it at 55 mph towing or deadheading. The nervewracking thing on the interstate is to be constantly blown by by cars and trucks doing 85+ mph. On smaller highways it is a...

Well you may have saved $240 in GL titling fees, but now you have a headache. When you use the GL SF97 program, YOU get to tell GL what to put on the SF97 so there is no one to blame but yourself if you get it wrong. I would just use the online SF97 application and get the correct info on your...
